My Script is pressing down the Shift key

[Guest]

I am developing a very simple script, and have come across something that seems like a bug. The code below when compiled also presses the shift key. I have no reason why. I have deduced the Send, {E} line causes it though. As far as I understand, that line is only supposed to press the E key and nothing more. Thanks for any help.

Using Ahk2Exe.exe version 1.1.28.2.

Code: Select all

V::
	Send, {LCtrl Down}
	Sleep, 10
	Send, {E}
	Send, {LCtrl Up}

try send, {e} ??

This should do it:

SendInput +e

Send, {E} sends shift + lowercase e as per the docs

everything is working as intended

swagfag, you are a 100% right. I didn't read the OP correctly and was mistook what he/she was asking.

For the OP, here is the quote from the docs.

"•If one or more modifier keys have been put into effect by the Send command, or if the letter is wrapped in braces, it is sent as a keycode (modified with Shift if the letter is upper-case). This allows the script to easily activate standard keyboard shortcuts."
